Tyler Williams has signed a long term contract with Frickley Athletic, keeping him at Westfield Lane until the end of next season.
The twenty-year-old joined the club last summer having finished the previous season at Leek Town and has been in impressive form as the Blues have enjoyed a successful season.
Having made 35 starts for the club this season, scoring four goals in the process, Williams has been a thorn in the side of many opponents with his tricky, pace and creative wing play.
Chairman Gareth Dando and Manager Karl Rose were both delighted to have secured Williams immediate future at the club. Dando said: “It’s fantastic that Tyler has committed himself to us not only for the rest of this season but for next season too. Karl Rose has put together a decent squad of players this season and it’s great to get a player of Tyler’s quality secured as we look to build on this season.”
Rose added: “Williams is another young player who has improved during his time at the club. He has been a constant threat for us this season and I’m delighted that we have been able to convince him that his immediate future lies with us.”
“Following on from the success of developing Reece Thompson and Simon Lenighan which enabled them to achieve contracts at Football League clubs, we believe that with hard work and the same type of continuous improvement made from the start of the season that Tyler could have similar opportunities of playing professional football.”
